Strengthening of Power distribution system and removal of distribution constraintsunder BRGF scheme

The Power sector in Bihar is currently undergoing sea change. The Power sector inBihar is growing at a faster rate to achieve national level of per capita consumption.The pace of economic development along with increasing power demand would requireadditional generating capacity as well as adequate distribution network infrastructureto cater the current demand and future load growth. In an effort to reduce lossesin power distribution sector, improve customer service and reliability of powersupply, the Distribution Companies of Bihar has undertaken a preliminary study toidentify distribution sector constraints from 33 kV line upto distribution transformerlevel, in course of further study it has been identified that the present distributionsystem of Bihar suffers from serious constraints in distribution infrastructuredue to which against as peak load requirement of 3000 MW the existing system iscapable of meeting load to the extent of 2300 MW - 2400 MW only. The distributioninfrastructure required for meeting the existing constraints and peak load requirementof FY 2013-14 has been covered under Phase-I of the scheme. The major action plansfor strengthening of Power Distribution system and removal of distribution constraintsdistribution system under BRGF Phase-I are as follows:
